Very disappointing for Chicago. I had wanted them to win the bid. I now will hope Rio wins in the final voting round vs. Madrid.
I was watching live on msnbc and they keep talking about some phenomenon where some strong contenders get eliminated in the first round, due to continential favourites, or something to that effect. Does anyone know any more about this?
